INTROdUCTION The Niles TS120 is a tabletop infrared sensor designed for use with the Niles infrared extender systems. Installed in a remote room location, the TS120 receives the IR commands transmitted from your hand-held remote(s). The IR commands are carried via a CAT-5 cable to your A/V equipment in another room, and instantly “repeated”. The TS120 represents one of the 3 building blocks necessary to complete a Niles IR repeating system: • IR Main System Unit—Models MSU140, MSU250, MSU48

INSTALLATION CONSIdERATIONS TypE OF CABLE The TS120 connects to the Niles infrared main system unit or IRH610 sensor expansion hub with an individual home run of CAT-5 cable. When running wires inside walls, most states and municipalities in the U.S. specify that you must use a special type of wire. Usually, the requirement is that the wire has a specific “CL” fire rating, such as “CL-2” or “CL-3”. Consult your Niles dealer, building contractor, or local building and inspection department if

INSTALLATION CONSIdERATIONS (continued) RECEIvING RANGE ANd pICkUp ANGLE The receiving range of the TS120 will vary according to the IR output strength of the remote control being used. Remote strength varies among brands depending on the number and size of batteries used, and how many IR emitters the remote has. For example, remotes that operate on two small AAA batteries and have only one IR emitter are generally not as strong as remotes that use the larger AA size batteries and have two

INSTALLATION STEp By STEp 1. The TS120 is a small free-standing box designed to sit on a shelf or other convenient surface. ® The unit can be mounted under a shelf using double-sided tape or Velcro (not supplied). 2. Run the cable to the TS120. Label the cable for future reference. 3. Loca te the connector on the TS120 and remove it. 4. Next, strip 1/4” of insulation from the end of each wire. Tightly twist the end of each wire until there are no frayed ends. 5. Use a small flathead scre

INSTALLATION (continued) 6. Insert each wire into the appropriate hole on the removable connector plug (Figure 6), and snap the locking tab down. To help you, the connector plug is keyed. Insert the smooth side of the connector plug into the smooth side of the socket. Don’t force the scalloped side of the connector plug into the smooth side of the socket (Figure 5). 7. Double-check all connections. Plug the connector back into its socket on the TS120. Figure 5 Installing the removable

OpERATION Operation of the TS120 is simple. Stand within the operational range of your TS120, aim your hand-held remote at the TS120 and press the button for the desired command. Your IR command is instantly repeated to your A/V equipment. GREEN “pO w ER STATUS” LEd When the TS120 is correctly connected (Figure 2), the Green LED will stay lit as long as the pre- amp/receiver is on. When your preamp/receiver is off, the LED will stay off. BLUE “FEEd BACk” LE d The blue “feedback” LED on the TS

TROUBLESHOOTING This manual contains instructions for the TS120 only. For specific information on the adjustment and operation of your Niles infrared extender system, please refer to the instruction manual included with your Niles IR Main System Unit (MSU140, MSU250, MSU480, MSU440Z). The bi-color blue/green LED on the front of the TS120 is a useful troubleshooting aid. The blue LED should light only when a remote command is being received. If the LED on the TS120 “flickers”, and the TS120 f

TROUBLESHOOTING (continued) ELIMINATING OpTICAL FEEdBACk In some installations, two conditions combine to create an optical feedback loop. Symptoms can include poor range, intermittent operation or no operation. The conditions which sometimes combine to create a feedback loop are: 1. Both a sensor and a flasher are located within the same room. 2. There is some low-level noise or interference on your system. You can eliminate optical feedback by replacing any IRB1 “flooding flasher” w
